Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell outlined what he hoped to hear Tuesday night from President Barack Obama, ranging from a plan to defeat the Islamic State to the economy to keeping the prison at Guantánamo Bay open.

The Senate Armed Services Committee holds a hearing on the U.S. strategy to combat the Islamic State in Syria and Iraq, which follows a prime-time address earlier in the week by President Barack Obama reasserting the administration's plan to defeat the terrorist group.
